I totally get it. Well I hope all your tests come back well. I get it. Busy here too. All the holidays are coming, 2 December bdays, 1 January, and 1 February. And work has been super busy with all the hurricanes since I work in the insurance industry and our company is National. (We also have an International branch but I work only the US side.) I am so eager to hear about your surgery and your results. Wishing you lots of luck!!

Hey. sandra !! I feel bad - its been a long time ! Im doing fantastic. Single now and its manic dating again or going out with mates ! I love dancing - legs lost loads of weight. Im 175 now - was 335 - so thats 160 loss !! Gonna try do a blog over the weekend with piccies ! Hope you are good ! Take care for now xx

Sandra, thank you much for your personal response. I started taking the Arnicare "Arthritis" tabs this past Saturday, not sure if psychosomatic but I believe I am starting to see some slight improvements. Going to continue to see how it progresses. I have a doc and nut appointment on 3/31 so going to discuss more with them regarding what is an acceptable way for me to add the tumeric into my diet. Like you said, maybe as simple as adding as a spice. My sleeve has not given me any problems so far with spicier foods that I love. Thank you again for your response and have a great week.

Thanks for your reply, I am already in touch with other surgeons. My health, except for managed high blood pressure is quite good irregardless of my weight. This is the very reason I did not get extreme about loosing the weight. I'm just too big now to move about comfortably and I am raising a special needs grandchild. I need to live longer and be happy.

Hi Sandra3, thank you for your "welcome". I'm in awe of your courage as I stand at the very beginning of my new life. I have made the decision to have the sleeve. I am waiting on tender hooks to see if I will be accepted as a candidate. Best of luck to you on your journey!

I'm always about balance in diet, did study nutrition for more than two years, and currently study naturopathy, because I think it's always better to try to prevent or treat the whole person, instead of treating just symptoms.

Nutrition is really a way of prevention, and sometimes can also be a "cure".

A French doctor wrote an interesting book, I was reading it about 15 years ago, indeed he didn't have access to today's research about colon absorption etc

I've been busy since Wednesday, many papers to do because my GP decided to put me on "long medical leave" after I saw the specialists, we now know I'm not going to be cured very soon....sigh....

On Tuesday I saw the pneumologist, and after the first test (the equivalent of a spirometer but with a computer to analyze the numbers) I was told I couldn't do the other (effort) tests. I thought "that's not good"..
